Extract links

[mgohin]

Explanation

We need to extract all links in our pdf documents.

To be more precise on our usage : people generate PDF with images (architects Moodboards) and on each image they add a link to the source image, so readers can have more information about the product on the image.

Code Example

How would your feature be used? (Remove this if it is not applicable.)

from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter

# iterate pages
uris = page.extract_uris()

Could you please provide an example file which demonstrates your current situation?

[mgohin]

Of course.
example.pdf

I did manage to get links, but I'm very new to PDF syntax so I don't know if I'm on the right path

reader = PdfReader("../example.pdf")
for page in reader.pages:
    for annotation in page.annotations:
        obj = annotation.get_object()
        if obj.get('/Subtype') == '/Link':
            print('Link : ', obj.get('/A').get('/URI'))

your approach is correct. Just be carefull that some times destinations are stored in named destination list.
